Today's display of airhead stupidity:
Dumbass customer: "Hi, I want to send these toys international to Georgia. It's a country in Eastern Europe ..."
Me: "I know where Georgia is." (I also know it's in Southwest Asia, but why argue?)
DC: (waaaaaay too surprised and delighted) "Oh!"
DC asks a question about pricing I don't know, so I pass her off to Bosslady, who hears: "Hi, I want to send these toys international to Georgia. It's a country in Eastern Europe ..."
Why, with all of us working for a shipping company, whyever would we learn such a useless skill as geography? Thank you so much, kind lady! *eye roll*

What shipping company are you working for that actually makes sure that their employees are qualified, if you don't mind me asking? Because that'd be worth knowing for future shipping :)
